5.5 Inspection, maintenance and checks

Note
The sterile containers may be tested and repaired only by persons with the
appropriate training, expertise or experience.
The seals in the container lids were tested according to DIN EN 868-8,
Annex G, for a minimum service life of 5 000 sterilization cycles.
In case of visible damage, change the seal immediately.
Have the lid sent to Aesculap, see Technical Service.
If necessary, lightly lubricate moving metal parts, e.g. latch hinges,
with sterilizable and steam-permeable maintenance oil (e.g. STERILIT®
oil spray JG600 or STERILIT® I drip feed oiler JG598).
